Blossoming Lotus & a new zafu

I made a trip to The Pearl and Saturday Market today. On the agenda: yoga/meditation stuff and Whole Foods for organic goodies (kale, parsley and oranges). I also got the pups a watermelon; they eat the rind and all. Watermelon’s not in season, and therefore not local either, but a nice treat. While in the neighborhood, I couldn’t resist the temptation of Blossoming Lotus and their live nachos — got a green juice, too. I would’ve taken a picture of the nachos, but the presentation isn’t quite the same in to-go containers. Still delicious!

Saturday Market was my destination for a zafu. It’s locally made from organic hemp, and quite pretty. I had to remove lots of buckwheat hulls to get just the right level of firmness. Now my butt won’t get sore/fall asleep as I move toward a more committed meditation practice. Bliss.
